Another "Book" to Add to
LotRO's Virtual Shelf
Over the past year, Turbine has displayed an almost impeccable track
record when it comes to releasing quality free content at regular
intervals for their most recent MMOG, Lord of the Rings Online. All of
their updates called Books have been incredible deep and full of
rich new content for players to enjoy. With Book 13 just on the
horizon, thousands of players are itching to take a crack at the latest
update to the LOTRO saga. Recently, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye
sat down with LOTRO's lead worldbuilder, Matt Elliott, to take about
the details of what's going into their next update!
Matt:
It's really a combination of both. One of the things that is
important for us is that we introduce something new along with
leveraging our existing assets. For Forochel we introduced a number of
variations on existing monster types, include the worms, snow beasts,
giants, and other creatures. But we also created several new beasts,
one of them being the "Grim" along with the "Sabertooth Cat." So it's
really a combination between new and old types.
